Wine Corks

More than 13 billion bottles of wine are consumed worldwide each year, and each bottle you contribute to that mass leaves behind a small (and handy) memento: the cork. To keep yours out of landfills, slice them into disks to use under furniture legs as floor protectors, soak cork in alcohol to ignite a fireplace flame, or donate your cork collection to a good cause like ReCork, a company that recycles used cork for new consumer products.
